To think everyine has forgotten about next Frìday?

[malificent7]

Brexit isn't it? Im a remainer and i feel ok about it...at least my hysteria has died down. What about the rest of you?

Still saddened by it, but resigned to it. I fell into a state of depression and anger after the brexit vote shock and subsequent chaos, but to my surprise started to feel better in the wake of the election result. Brexit plus Corbyn would have been an unmitigated disaster, a hung or finely balanced parliament would have been continued chaos and too much power in the hands of the ERG and DUP. Although I dislike Johnson and think brexit is a terrible idea, a big majority was at that point the least worst realistic option.

I’ve decided we’ll be back in within ten years so feel calmer now

I’m sad about it. Our local spotted page is full of people “celebrating our independence”, even making public plans to set fireworks off aimed directly at the house of a vocal labour/remainer activist. It’s galling.

Why they want to celebrate us throwing our toys out the pram because a group project didn’t go our way I don’t know. Feel like I’m back at school!

I am trying not to think about my fellow citizens choosing to screw me over.

Remainer!

I haven't forgotten. I am a remainer and I will drink a toast to Europe and console myself with the thought that we will be back in the EU in a generation.

And just in case anyone is in any doubt about the impact of it on the most vulnerable in society, take a look at this report:

I was thinking this this morning OP, it's gone dead quiet. I actually forgot about it until I read this.

Not forgotten as such, but just not marking it in any way. Not happy about it but I guess resigned to the fact and nothing I can do. I don't know anyone who will be marking it and tbh not even heard anyone actually even refer to it recently.

@ ChazP - how about you giving me some tangible benefits for remaining in the E.U. ?

Don’t you and other Europhiles think that part of the reason for Brexit was the fact that supporters of the E.U. were unable to persuade a sufficiently large proportion of the voting population that it was more beneficial to stay in than to leave?

Not that I am accountable to you or anyone else, but my overriding reason for voting leave was that I have never, ever had a vote that has any meaning, for the people that make the decisions in the E.U.

I didn’t vote any of them in and I have never had the opportunity to vote any of them out.

If Boris screws up, in 4 years time there will be the opportunity to vote him and his party out. If enough other people agree then he will go. If they don’t he won’t.

When did you vote for Angela Merkel? I must have missed my opportunity to vote for or against her.

@Pencilplantironingboard
I hope they all have a great day in their union jack outfits talked about how great we had it during the blitz. Absolute tools. despite being irate about the situation this has brought a wry smile to my face - well, I’d be properly grinning if it wasn’t actually happening.

Don't know about @ChazP but since this is now happening I'm not going to justify my views to Brexiteers any more. It's a waste of time and energy.

I haven’t forgotten.
Can’t wait!

I haven't forgotten, I just don't have the mental energy to give it much thought at the moment. It's going to happen, we can't stop it and I've needed a break from the stress and worry of politics for a while since the election.

MasakaBuzz Many people – not all, but some – were persuaded to leave because they believed promises like the one about the NHS made on the side of the bus. So I struggle to believe we'll be better off out of the EU and I am deeply concerned that workers' rights and maternity rights are going to be stripped to the bone now we will no longer have to abide by EU standards, which will deeply impact those on low incomes. Already the Tories are showing they're willing to stick it to less affluent areas of the UK, despite their election promises of more help for the north.

I haven't. I plan to wear black in mourning.

Not forgotten. Just bowing to the inevitable.

I'm just letting my Brexiteer friends and family do their nah, nah, nah and tongue poking at 'Remoaners'. Then waiting for the moans and groans to start when they realise they've still got the negotiations to go through (some of my family don't seem to read anything so don't realise there's years of negotiations to go through with the EU and then getting deals with other non-EU countries)

You vote for MEPs every 4 yrs. if you haven’t taken it up, that’s your issue.

Benefits of EU membership:
Biggest frictionless trade deal in the world,
Longest period of peacetime in Europe in its history,
Pooled resources in respect of medical research,
Shared information from security services on terrorism, hooliganism etc
Free movement of goods and people means ability to attract best and brightest to UK,

And that’s just for starters...

Actually I'm going to a funeral on Friday. Oddly appropriate.

I heard someone say we are going out on Friday with a whimper and not with a bang which is quite something considering all the fury and fraughtness of the past few years from both sides. I think most people are just fed up and weary with it all, I voted Remain but am resigned to it, though I accepted that we would be leaving as soon as the result came through in 2016.

I think that the whole Sussex debacle has taken over the press

I live in Sussex and for several moments wondered what gripping piece of local news I'd missed.

I felt a right plank when it clicked what the PP meant.

You can tell that remainers are praying for it to fail so they can say ‘I told you so’ it’s utterly pathetic and says a lot about them

What worries me is the amount of uneducated people who will think that Friday is it, and then smugly claim that no harm has been done.

Friday is just can kicking under another name.

Of course we haven’t forgotten. I valued my EU citizenship rights and made use of them. My life will be poorer and narrower after 2020, and my child will never have the opportunities I enjoyed.

But there’s nothing I can do, other than keep my head down and focus on protecting myself and my family as best I can. I don’t feel any loyalty to my community or to other Brits any more. We’re just a random collection of individuals, each looking out for ourselves.

I haven't. I plan to wear black in mourning.

Me too.

And I'll be playing the fourth movement of Beethoven's 9th on repeat, all evening.

I think that somehow they will manage to blame remainers if it goes tits up.

They will, I can guarantee it. It will be blamed on Remainers because they didn't "get behind it" and didn't support the efforts to leave, they let the team down, blah blah blah.
